The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X75S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 75mm stroke. The twin rods resist rotation and give equal push and pull force, so it carries and guides a tool platform without a separate anti-rotation guide.
The AirTAC ACQD32X75S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications needing consistent bi-directional power without force drop.
The dual shafts inherently resist rotation and extend the guiding length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with the -S magnet, the integrated switch grooves accept reed or solid-state electronic sensors for position detection.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACQD datasheet. A rod exits both ends, so both directions use the same annular area. Confirm against the product label before installation.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 302 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 422 N | 422 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 62 kgf | |
Because a rod occupies both chambers, push and pull forces are EQUAL — the annular area applies in each direction. Actual usable force is lower due to friction; size with a safety margin.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives a flat indexing pusher on an electronics assembly line, using the dual rods to prevent plate yaw and maintain perfectly square contact.
Powers a pick-and-place transfer bridge in packaging machinery, leveraging the identical push and pull forces for smooth bi-directional product handling.
Actuates a secondary sensor flag or small secondary load from the rear rod end on a CNC cell while the front rod drives the primary clamping action.
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore generates 301.6 N of equal push and pull force. If your load requires less thrust, the 25 mm bore provides 188.9 N; for heavier payloads, step up to the 40 mm bore offering 527.8 N. If your mechanism only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more compact, while a guided TACQ unit fits applications needing substantial lateral load support. Ensure you specify the 75 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and female M8x1.25 rod-end threads when ordering.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder provides equal push and pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the twin rods create matching annular areas. The maximum standard stroke available for the 32 mm bore is 100 mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load on air loss or when a valve is centered; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not function as a lock. For fail-safe holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
